CLASSIFICATION OF RAW MATERIALS
An incorrect product classification is potentially hazardous to end-users, the environment and your bottom. Avoid costly mistakes by working with Dell Tech’s experts in Product Safety to get it right the first time, starting with your raw materials.
Our team uses a variety sources, including ECHA, CCOHS, CSST, IARC and ACGIH to accurately classify ingredients. This informs your overall GHS product classification, SDS and shipping classification for TDG, DOT, IATA and IMDG.


The majority of Safety Data Sheet authoring programs do not classify raw materials and yet this is a critical step in authoring a compliant SDS. To determine the classification of a raw material, the following must be considered:
- Where is the data coming from?
- Were proper test methods used to determine the toxicological results from LD50/LC50?
- Are the data sources reliable?
- Are there specific country requirements for that particular chemical?
Dell Tech has been accurately classifying chemicals for over 35 years. In addition to extensive classification experience, our Product Safety Consultants are experts on both Canadian and US GHS regulations.
